D-Day, 6 June 1944 - Normandy - France
At 6:31 a.m. Robert Capa landed in the first wave on Omaha Beach.
He captured 'bloody Omaha' in what turned out to be a world famous photo sequence.
His three rolls of film were rushed to London for processing. There a darkroom technician, eager for glimpses of the landing, dried the film too fast. The excessive heat melted the emulsion and ruined all but 10 frames.
(Note- Another Army FUBAR Incident)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall hearing about another Snafu...this time with combat camera film of D-Day which was dropped over the side of an LST. That's why the only footage that exists today is the familiar scene of 4 guys running up onto the beach and two of them falling, wounded or killed.
